http://www.lightstalkers.org/who-are-you-using-to-process-print-and-scan-in-nyc An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us I'm looking for a great NYC based lab, that seriously knows what it's doing in regards to B&W film. I specifically need a lab that offers a develop, print, and scan service with emphasis on at least decent print quality scans. Bonus points for a lab that has a few choices of developers. Thanks! ps. I'm also open to labs outside of NYC if they are great, FedEx is an option.

For developing I have been using Alan Chin, who hand processes everything (http://www.lightstalkers.org/alanschin RedHookLab@gmail.com (917) 309-8866).. Some people use Brian Young (phototechnica: (646) 932-0917)I've never worked with him because his lab is out of the way for me. For exhibition prints prints I use Sergio at Black & White On White (212) 226-3116 153 Lafayette St, New York, NY Scans are another issue..depends on what you need - low res of everything on your roll to show to clients or hi res imacom / drum?

I saw some print examples from this process in London last week, and I would say for b&w prints today, it's the way to go. Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:37:47 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/who-are-you-using-to-process-print-and-scan-in-nyc#150664 amazingly, I am finding with just an epson inkjet and baryta inkjet paper such as Ilford Fibre Silk Gold you can make prints that cannot be distinguished from a traditional darkroom fiber print. Michael: I used Brian Young for the first time in April and he comes highly recommended. Also his prices are slightly cheaper than others.

He's not just the best, the best go to him 212-929-3036 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:45:44 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/who-are-you-using-to-process-print-and-scan-in-nyc#150713 I had forgotten about Brian Young, and I'm sure he does not remember me, but I had him make some prints for me in like 2000?! It was a good experience. Also, heads up for anyone looking to work with MV. They have moved out of their Meat Packing District space. I don't have the address, but the they are now around 5th Ave in the thirties. Thanks for the replies everyone.
